White · Full · Dry

California's flagship white — rounder, riper, and oakier than the Old World original, with tropical fruit, butter, and vanilla. Sonoma Coast and Sta. Rita Hills bottlings are leaner; Napa stays plush.

American Chardonnay's richness matches Penne With Asparagus's cream or butter; oak and stone fruit add a layer.

Chardonnay grown on Burgundy's chalkiest soils, almost never oaked. Lean, steely, oyster-shell minerality; a wine that tastes like a place. The wine for shellfish, full stop.

A medium white like French Chablis suits Penne With Asparagus when the sauce is delicate.
